That's the shit, It would be great to see N.I.N in a small indoors venue, well, someone that held 1 or 2 thousand as opposed to the Stadiums they play when they tour Australia..

Swans - God Damn the sun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp05E...eature=related

I've heard of the Swans before, though I can't remember the context; mayhaps in my time as Music Director in my college radio station.

At any rate: His voice is so incredibly haunting, reminiscent of Nick Cave or Leonard Cohen (with a twinge of Stephen Merrit). The song is melancholic. I like it. I'm going to have to add the Swans on my list to explore. Good pick, Step.

The immediate connotation being Leonard Cohen, I thought of

His version of Hallelujah

and

Everybody Knows

I can't pick just one right now.

Everybody Knows... That was interesting hahaha.


Knights of Cydonia- Muse

*For the record. I think the video KILLS the song. Preferably just listen to it.

Cool Leonard Cohen is great.... Songs of Love & Hate is one of my all time favorite albums. Everybody Knows was the first song I ever heard by him I was hooked after that :)

Muse SUUUUUCKKKKKK! BOOOO!! :D

I got to see Michael Gira do a solo set supporting the bordoms last year, he coverd this, I was never lucky enough to see swans, they split before I found out about them, but you should check them out, some of their stuff is just brutal noise then turns into an amazeing beutifull voice... they are incredible.

Well he did right Halleljuah, I can't believe I flicked onto BonJovi covering it a few night sago on tv, it was fucking horrible as most cover versions are, but my faveorite is John Cales version...

as for everybody knows, out of the 50 or so songs on my mp3 player for the last week and a half this is one of them, so I've been listening to it a lot lately.

He is playing here in a month or so, I'm thinking of going but it depends on if I'm working or not as tickets are 50 quid...

John Cale - Hallelujah

John Cale - Heartbreak Hotel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Bn0Kq7rls

Wow. That song makes me want to simultaneously kill babies and give the lead singer a lozenge.

I thought that Muse had a lot of potential with their first US single, Time is Running Out. But I found that album repetitive with vocals that were a little overwrought and cheesy. As for their newer stuff, Knights of Cydonia in particularity, I want it to rock so incredibly badly, but the chorus just gives way to bad 80s band throwback.

...

And now for something completely different...

Talking Heads' Road to Nowhere

This would definitely fit somewhere on the ironic soundtrack of the movie they eventually make of my life.

That Talking Heads song is killer! Been awhile since I heard that one...

Sonic Youth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdP6UuNNHqA

hu ha, I've seen sonic Youth once, and made out with a hot chick... it reminded me of that video...

Makes me think of this band, thier first e.p was called sounds of satanic youth, but they had so much feed back i think they were referring to sonic youth...

Magic Dirt - She Riff, also a cool picknic at hanging rock video and Adalita is uuuurrrr... delicious...
